Palm OS is cool
4/08/26

When I was eleven, this was cool, I swear.

In the month since I last posted, a lot of work has been done for the site. You'll see it when it's finally ready.

In the meantime, I've been screwing around with a Handspring Visor the last few days. It's an interesting device that I used briefly back in the day. Compared to smartphones, it's surprisingly useful. Another Palm OS device I've owned for over a decade happens to have a few apps on it that I can't find backed up elsewhere on the internet. To be fair, I haven't looked particularly hard so who knows if that's truly the case. Either way, I'll be hosting those programs here. That ones a Palm Z22 , which sadly had a rechargeable battery. They only last five or six years, so I'll need another one before I can do anything with it. Watch this space if you care.

I did manage to "extract" a weird bootleg Pac-Man game though. Palm OS has a neat feature where you can send certain apps to someone else via infrared. If my Visor had more RAM, I'd be able to do that with most of them but oh well. That small victory was quickly negated when I discovered that the site that hosts this game still exists. You can't register it anymore, sadly. Maybe it's time to learn how to crack Palm apps?

And no, this Palm OS stuff has very little to do with what I'm working on. With the amount of work I put into what's in store for this place, I needed a break and this is far less work.

You know what? Screw it. Here's a small preview of what's in store. I hope you find this 160x144 image satisfactory. The fact that it's in color is misleading.


Ho boy
